IN HONOR or GENERAL LEE.

rhe crowds in Richmond to-day repre-
sent the popular idea in the South with
regard 10 tho memory OF the great Con-
fcdciate Chief His personal character
has every claim to respect that yirtuous
and brave patriot could command. But
besides the honor to the individual there
is in the heart of the Southern people a
manly and broad minded feeling OF
tribute to the cause of the Confederacy,
as an illustration of what good citizens
do when duty calls them When we
display the Confederate flag we do not
mean that we believe in secession
or slavery at the present day.
When we accepted the parole and took
the oath TO the Union under the new
order of things We did not mean 10 say
that what we had done was wrong. We
meant to say that we would act in good
faith under our pledge, and the Confed-
crate flag is now the symbol Of that pa
triOtic duty TO home which the cltiIen-
soldier feels
This patriotism which owed service to
the Confederacy and to the State Of Vir-
ginia is the same that under the new or
der would serve our State and our com
mon government.
The dead Confederacy is sacred
memory in the hearts Of Southern men,
and the coming generations will honor
the character OF It's hero
Certainly the whole world will never
find anything in the character of General
Robert +. Lee but what all humanity
may be proud of as the example OF noble
manhood.

Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. BrownPotter
the English lily and the American rose,
represent a peculiar phase of dramatic
art. II is not skill OF brains, but social
notoriety and dresses. The theatre goer
frankly confesses that he does not go to
see good play well performed, but to
see fashionable beauty's dresses and
personal display in any drama tina, will
best display the beauty and the ward

Mrs Langtry has about as much claim
TO be all artist as Worth dress has to
be on angels wings. Mrs. Potter has
nothing but a fashionable career and the
Paris wardrobe.

able unintentional Democratic canyasser,
Hon. John 5. Wise, the aforesaid be

pose In ii. which is doubtful, has been

We would like to see anybody try to
count the number of honest Democrats
in Richmond to-day who can be fooled
with bogus reform. The margin Of m g.
iority for the Democrats in the city is
over two thousand, and if the Democratic
